An electrical connector having a hollow electrically insulating body having opposed ends. A set of male electrical contact members is on one end of the body. First and second body part together define the body. One of the body parts defines the one end of the body and its hollow interior. The other of the body parts defines the other end of the body. A recess in the one body part communicates with the hollow interior of the body, and receives the other body part. Means extending from the other body part into the hollow interior serves in trapping thus locating electrical conductor means associated with the male electrical contact members and as part of members frictionally interengaging to resist disassembly of the body.
